After checking out of the hotel, the two of them were about to part ways in front of the hotel. Zhao Yutong, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at A Man, and her beautiful smile bloomed again.
"Senior Man Hao, can I get your phone number?"
A Man was taken aback. He was about to recite his phone number, but what came out was: "I, I'm married. I'm sorry."
...
"Ah... I see." After a brief silence, Zhao Yutong's originally clear eyes seemed to dim a lot, and the disappointment that was hard to hide appeared on her delicate and pretty face, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Well, okay, goodbye." Without waiting for A Man to react, Zhao Yutong quickly got into a taxi parked in front of the hotel and disappeared in front of A Man.
Looking at the taxi driving away, A Man helplessly scratched his hair, feeling an indescribable taste in his heart. He was not stupid, he could see that Zhao Yutong had a clear preference for him, but he could not accept it. A one-night stand had already made him feel too guilty towards Yuan Zhen, he could not do more things that would be unforgivable to his wife, let alone Yuan Zhen loved him so much.
Lighting a cigarette, A Man took a couple of depressed puffs, looked at his watch, and then hailed a taxi. It was getting late, and he had to go to the company. The new project that started yesterday, as the department manager, he could not be negligent.
On the way, A Man suddenly thought of a question, just now Zhao Yutong seemed to call him "senior"? Could it be that she and I are classmates? And she also knows my name.
A Man's full name is Man Hao, an ordinary and seemingly interesting name.
Knowing his name, either she is really an alumna, or she learned it from his colleagues last night. A Man was too low-key during college, and the only "style" was that he was disciplined by the school for fighting with that rich second generation, so A Man couldn't remember if there was a person named Zhao Yutong in their school.
Soon A Man had no time to ponder these things. When he arrived at the company, he still had work to handle. This newly won development project was also a big deal in the company. Although A Man didn't come in the morning, the work couldn't stop, and he couldn't let other departments gossip. He first made a simple report to the general manager of the company, then returned to his department to see the progress of the two groups and what problems there were. In the afternoon, A Man spent time with the people in his department on code writing, testing, and module adjustment. No one mentioned the events of last night, as if in Huahai, things like last night were a very normal thing, happening every day.
After work, A Man ate something outside and returned to the apartment he rented in Huahai. At this moment, A Man was in a good mood because he was holding a letter, a letter from home, a letter from his wife Yuan Zhen. Sometimes A Man felt that his wife was quite interesting. In this era of information overload, his wife was not very interested in mobile phones and computers. She seemed to live in an era of men farming and women weaving at home. The mobile phone was still the one A Man insisted on getting for her when he went back last time, but even so, Yuan Zhen was still keen on expressing her thoughts with letters, and the mobile phone was mostly used to check the time.
A Man looked at the letter in his hand, and it turned out to be a registered letter. It seemed quite heavy inside, and he didn't know what this little girl had packed. After changing his clothes, A Man couldn't wait to tear open the envelope. Inside was a small piece of paper and two exquisite little keys. Unfolding the paper, the elegant handwriting jumped on the paper, and the words were full of missing A Man. Looking at the loving words, A Man immediately threw all his troubles into the air, but after reading it, his heart was filled with guilt towards his wife. Suddenly, A Man made a decision in his heart, and he wanted to tell his wife the truth about this one-night stand when he went home next time and ask for her forgiveness. After making this decision, A Man finally felt like a stone had fallen to the ground.
After reading the letter, A Man picked up the two little keys, puzzled, what were these? Could it be that the family had changed the lock? But the letter didn't mention this. Suddenly, he remembered that his wife mentioned in the letter that there would be a surprise for him when he went back. A Man thought it might be related to these keys, but he couldn't go back immediately, so he had to suppress his doubts and thoughts of his wife, and then he called, only to find that the phone was turned off. This girl must have forgotten to charge it again. In the end, A Man gave up the idea of calling his parents. Anyway, it would be the weekend in a few days, and he would go back to see what tricks this little wife had come up with. Thinking of Yuan Zhen's cute and lovely appearance, her well-proportioned figure, and her obedient yet shy and wanton appearance in bed, A Man felt extremely happy.
The development work of the project is progressing normally, and A Man is handling the matters at hand in an orderly manner. When it was almost time to get off work at noon, a text message lit up the screen of his mobile phone. It was a strange number, and the content was also very simple.
"Can you accompany me for a cup of coffee?" There was no signature, but A Man immediately guessed who the owner of the text message was. Although he didn't know how Zhao Yutong knew his mobile phone number, A Man thought of the passion of that night and couldn't help but be a bit distracted. To be honest, he really liked Zhao Yutong's craziness, the actions that catered to his preferences, which made him a bit unable to stop. He wanted to refuse but couldn't help but reply with "Where?". Soon the other party sent an address, and A Man took a look, smiled bitterly, and didn't know whether this crazy girl did it on purpose or something, she said this café was not far from his company, just two blocks away, about five minutes on foot.
When A Man arrived at the café Zhao Yutong mentioned, she was sitting in a corner leisurely drinking coffee, and there were some snacks on the table.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." A Man sat down gracefully.
"Oh, I've just arrived not long ago." Zhao Yutong looked at A Man naturally, with a faint smile on her delicate cheeks.
"I don't know what you like to drink, so I just ordered some food first."
"Oh, I'm fine with anything." A Man didn't know what to say. In his mind, men and women who have a one-night stand rarely intersect again. This meeting made him a bit uncomfortable, not to mention that he is a married man.
After a while of silence, it was Zhao Yutong who broke the deadlock first.
"Are you surprised that I know your phone number?"
"A little bit." A Man smiled a bit embarrassed.
"Still an IT elite, how can you be so stupid? You are the development department manager of Huahai KD branch, just search online, and you can find your phone number."
"Ah, I see, I really didn't pay attention, haha."
"Don't laugh, let's talk about something serious. I have something I want to ask for your help, I don't know if you will give me face or not? Manager Man."
A Man didn't expect Zhao Yutong's tone to change so quickly. Just now, there was a bit of flirting, and now it suddenly became serious.
"It seems you really know a lot about me, I don't know what Miss Zhao needs my help with."
A more formal conversation actually made A Man relax a lot.
"Oh? It seems you know my name, I thought you didn't know anything about me."
Just now it was a formal conversation, and now it suddenly became a bit coquettish. A Man almost choked on the snacks in his mouth, but he still told the truth: "Well, I saw your ID card that day."
"Oh, I see." A flash of light passed through Zhao Yutong's eyes, and she continued:
"Well, it's like this, I have a project and I want you to take a look and give me some advice."
"Project? What project? You know, I'm doing program development at KD, I don't know how I can help you."
"Of course, it's your expertise, otherwise, why would I ask you? It's just that the location is a bit far, in Yanjing, I don't know if Manager Man has time."
"You mean you want me to go to Yanjing with you?" A Man was taken aback by her words, a bit unable to adapt, and he still didn't understand what Zhao Yutong did, and she took her to inspect the project in Yanjing.
"Why? Are you afraid I'll sell you?" Zhao Yutong took a sip of coffee and smiled.
"No, I didn't mean that,
